Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)

Find out about the pension scheme for local government employees.

Who the pension scheme is for

All employees working in local government can access the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). Members will get a guaranteed pension income in retirement.

The scheme is separate from council annual accounts. It is not included in the council balance sheet.

Find out more about the scheme on the LGPS member website.

Manage your pension online

If you're already a member of the scheme, you can manage your pension online.

You can:

  • access your annual benefit statements
  • update your personal details
  • review your nominations, years of service, earnings, contributions and transfers (if applicable)
  • run a retirement estimate (if you are aged 55 or over)

The McCloud judgement and your pension

The Government has recently made changes to the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations. The changes are called the McCloud Remedy and are intended to remove the age discrimination found in the McCloud court case. 

Please see the member factsheet for a summary of the judgement and the changes the Government is making to the LGPS.
